Synopsis

What to believe can be as much about choice as reality. In 1960, two young boys drown in a marsh on a summer night. Though accepted as accidental, circumstances change a decade later when a stranger arrives asking questions. No one imagined a pedophile in their midst until someone came looking for one. Then, it’s all anyone could see.
Set against the backdrop of cottage life on a small inland lake in Michigan, A Second Look is about two families and a community bearing up against loss and the unimaginable weight of new allegations. Forty years later, nearly everyone involved is still haunted by a history unrelenting in its ability to lay guilt at their feet.
